Advances in next-generation sequencing have enabled the widespread measurement of
microbiome composition across systems and over the course of microbiome assembly …

In this literature review, we discuss the various functions of beneficial plant bacteria in
improving plant nutrition, the defense against biotic and abiotic stress, and hormonal …

Historical contingency, such as the order of species arrival, can modify competitive
outcomes via niche modification or pre‐emption. However, how these mechanisms …

Soil microbial community coalescence, where entire microbial communities mix and interact
under new conditions, is a widespread phenomenon whose applicability for targeted root …

This paper presents a deep analysis of the accessory genome of an economically promising
strain of Ensifer (Sinorhizobium) meliloti, L6-AK89, obtained as a result of next-generation …

Abstract Premise In the Amazon basin, seasonally flooded (SF) forests offer varying water
constraints, providing an excellent way to investigate the role of habitat selection on …

Microplastic polyethylene (PE) is one of the most widely distributed pollutants in agricultural
soils. However, its effects on the assembly and co-occurrence of the coevolved bacteriome …

The arrival order of species can strongly influence the early assembly of ecological
communities. Such events, known as priority effects, are documented in various ecological …

A major concern for plant nurseries and land stewards is managing pathogens that induce
soilborne diseases. Plant diseases cost nurseries millions of dollars in lost revenue and …

Mutualism is thought to be more prevalent in the tropics than temperate zones and may
therefore play an important role in generating and maintaining high species richness found …
